Array Arithmetic

After creating a FieldArray subclass and one or two arrays, nearly any arithmetic operation can be performed using normal NumPy ufuncs or Python operators.

In the sections below, the finite field \(\mathrm{GF}(3^5)\) and arrays \(x\) and \(y\) are used.

In [1]: GF = galois.GF(3**5)

In [2]: x = GF([184, 25, 157, 31]); x
Out[2]: GF([184,  25, 157,  31], order=3^5)

In [3]: y = GF([179, 9, 139, 27]); y
Out[3]: GF([179,   9, 139,  27], order=3^5)

Standard arithmetic

NumPy ufuncs are universal functions that operate on scalars. Unary ufuncs operate on a single scalar and binary ufuncs operate on two scalars. NumPy extends the scalar operation of ufuncs to operate on arrays in various ways. This extensibility enables NumPy broadcasting.

Ufunc methods

FieldArray instances support NumPy ufunc methods. Ufunc methods allow a user to apply a NumPy ufunc in a unique way across the target array. All arithmetic ufuncs are supported.

Expand any section for more details.

reduce()

The reduce methods reduce the input array’s dimension by one, applying the ufunc across one axis.
